Our Metal

Offering a Variety of Steel Panels for Residential, Commercial and Agricultural Applications in Several Gauges and Profiles

Navigating through the confusing onslaught of product information can be difficult at times. It is also sometimes hard to discern what is fact and what is fiction. We have found that this is mostly true when it comes to information about the steel used on pole buildings. Knowing that some others say whatever it takes to get a sale, we want to explain in full detail what Delmarva Buildings offers you so that you can compare “apples to apples”. (NOTE: All of the information below can be readily verified through independent sources.).

We offer the MS Colorfast45® warranty which fights to prevent fading, decade after decade! The ultimate lifespan of steel roof and wall panels depends on the quality of the coating system that protects it. Inferior coatings will not protect the steel substrate from harsh elements and will be susceptible to corrosion, chalking and color fading. MS Colorfast45® is a multi-layer coating system proven to be superior in every respect layer by layer. They supply superior resin and superior performance, standing the test of time.

Prorated Warrantyhould there be a defect in the paint, a prorated warranty only reimburses a portion of replacement costs, based on the age of the roof. The older the roof, the less the amount covered by the warranty. A prorated 40-year warranty will only cover 50% of the original cost after 20 years have passed.

Non-Prorated WarrantyA non-prorated warranty provides full replacement costs of the metal panel if there is a defect throughout the full term of the warranty.

ALL manufacturers’ 30-40-50 year limited warranties are on the paint itself, not the sheet steel. Delmarva Buildings offers a Lifetime Warranty our panels from Metal Sales. The first 45 years would be Non-Prorated and the subsequent years, pro-rated.
